Whoa! The letters have surprising twists and turns and I don't know if it's coming or going. Cool!

Thanks Thalamic, I am myself a bit lost in this font.

Wow. There's an almost 3d-spatial effect to the inside of the forms. Can't stare at it too long, I'm scared of falling between the bars into a parallel universe.

Wow! Someone else discovered the beauty and difficulty of the triangular geometry. Kudos for the colorful sample. 10/10

Incredible ... just after saying (elsewhere) that I now rarely award 10 ... this gets my 10 :)

Thanks guys, but it's not a fully original work again. Do you face the same moral dilemma sometimes ?

very nice, ir. thanks for the shoutout :) is anything really original these days. i mean really really original? as a creative person, i worry less about 'if somebody else has done this' and much more about 'will i continue to be creative?' i think when building out a character set based on a few pre-existing glyphs, you are doing someone a favor somewhere that will use it. i think as long as you cite the source, you have done the right thing and there is no moral dilemma :) rock on.

Using different colors for the different faces can make the 3D effect more readable.

Very nicely finished, when I seen the original 'ducth' type I thought that would make a great fontstruction, and here we are. :)

The samples really showoff the creative potential of this typeface. Nicely done.
